  • DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EXAMPLE EMBODIMENTS
  • For making the purposes, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. It is apparent that the described embodiments are not all embodiments but part of embodiments of the present disclosure. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art on the basis of the embodiments in the present disclosure without creative work shall fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.
  • FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a method for correcting a color convergence error according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 1, the method includes:
  • step 101: in a darkroom environment, acquiring a projection image obtained by projecting a test pattern containing N white shape points by a projection system, where N is an integer greater than or equal to 2;
  • step 102: performing color separation on N shape image points on the projection image, to obtain N shape image points corresponding to R, G, and B color components respectively;
  • step 103: determining color coordinates corresponding to R, G, and B according to the N shape image points corresponding to R, G, and B color components respectively; and
  • step 104: adjusting an assembly parameter of the projection system according to the color coordinates corresponding to the R, G, and B.
  • In this embodiment, when acquiring the projection image, it needs to be performed in a darkroom environment. The test pattern contains white shaped points. If the projection system is disturbed by stray light from the external environment during imaging, the contrast of the projection image obtained after the test pattern being projected may decrease, and the detection accuracy of the color convergence error may decrease as well. Therefore, when implementing the color convergence error detection method provided by the present disclosure, the test pattern needs to be projected in a darkroom environment and the shape image points obtained by the projection need to be photographed in the darkroom environment, to avoid the interference on the imaging effect of the projection system caused by the ambient light.
  • The test pattern used in this embodiment includes N white shape points, and N shape image points are obtained after projection. The shape point refers to a point with a certain geometric shape, such as a triangular point, a rectangular point, a circular point, a cross-shaped point, or other shapes. For the convenience of description, the image point obtained after the shape point being projected is marked as the shape image point.
  • When there is no color convergence error in the projection system, the N shape image points contained in the projection image are white, and the N white shape image points are superimposed by three primary colors of R (red), G (green), and B (blue) color. Based on this, in this embodiment, it is possible to analyze whether there is a color convergence error in the projection system based on whether the superposition of the R, G, and B color components of the N shape image points included in the projection image is good.
  • Before analyzing whether the superposition of the R, G, and B color components of the N shape image points is good, color separation can be can be processed on the N shape image points on the projection image. In the RGB color mode, different colors are obtained by superimposing the three color components of R, G, and B in a certain proportion. The color separation refers to the process of decomposing the superimposed color into three color components, R, G, and B. The color of each pixel on the N white shape points included in the test pattern includes three color components of RGB. Correspondingly, the color of each pixel on the N shape image points obtained by projection also includes three color components of RGB. Performing color separation on the N shape image points can obtain N shape image points corresponding to the R, G, and B color components.
  • After the N shape image points corresponding to the R, G, and B color components are determined, the color coordinates corresponding to the R, G, and B can then be calculated next. The color coordinates refer to: the coordinates corresponding to the three color components of R, G, and B contained in the image-side pixel obtained after a pixel of a certain coordinate on the object-side projected by the projection system. It should be understood that when there is a color convergence error in the projection system, there is position deviation between the coordinates of the three color components of R, G, and B contained in the image-side pixel have; on the contrary, when there is no color convergence error in the projection system, the three color components of the R, G, and B contained in the image-side pixel superpose. After the color coordinates corresponding to R, G, and B are determined, it can be judged whether the superposition of the three color pixels of R, G, and B meets the requirement, and the assembly parameter of the projection system can be adjusted when the requirements are not met.
  • In this embodiment, the projection image of the projection system for the test pattern containing the white shape points is collected, and the color coordinates corresponding to each of the three color components of R, G, and B are extracted from the projection image. Furthermore, it can be determined whether the different color components projected by the projection system superpose based on the color coordinates corresponding to each of the three color components. In such a technical solution, the color convergence error of the projection system can be effectively detected and corrected, which is beneficial to improve the imaging quality of the projection system.
  • Optionally, when performing the embodiment of the present disclosure, the operation of projecting the test pattern and shooting the projection image in the darkroom environment can refer to the schematic diagram of FIG. 2a . In the test darkroom, the projection system projects on the projection screen, and the camera can collect the projection image from the projection screen.
  • FIG. 2b is a flowchart of a method for correcting a color convergence error according to another embodiment according to the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 2b , the method includes:
  • step 201: in a darkroom environment, acquiring a projection image obtained by projecting a test pattern containing N white shape points by a projection system, where N is an integer greater than or equal to 2;
  • step 202: with regard to any shape image point in the N shape image points, performing gray-scale on the shape image point, to obtain a gray-scaled shape image point;
  • step 203: determining color value of each pixel point on the gray-scaled image point according to gray-scale value of the gray-scaled shape image point;
  • step 204: dividing the each pixel into a corresponding color type according to the color value of each pixel and color value corresponding to the R, G, and B color components, to obtain shape image points corresponding to R, G, and B color components respectively;
  • step 205: with regard to any color component in the R, G, and B color components, acquiring respective a center-of-mass coordinate of the N shape image points corresponding to the color component;
  • step 206: calculating the color coordinates corresponding to the color components according to respective center-of-mass coordinate of the N shape image points;
  • step 207: calculating a superposition deviation of the three color components of R, G, and B according to the color coordinates corresponding to the R, G, and B;
  • step 208: determining whether the superposition deviation is greater than s set deviation threshold; if yes, executing step 209; if no, ending the execution; and
  • step 209: adjusting an assembly parameter of the projection system according to the color coordinates corresponding to the R, G, and B, and executing step 201.
  • In step 201, optionally, designing at least two shape points on the test pattern can increase the number of a pixel used to detect the color convergence error, minimize the impact of measurement errors in a few pixels on the overall detection result, and improve the reliability of error detection result.
  • In order to take into account both the correction efficiency and the correction effect of the color convergence error, the inventor has repeatedly tested and found that when N=4, a better correction efficiency and correction effect can be achieved. For convenience of description, the following content will take the test pattern containing 4 white shape points as an example to illustrate the technical solution of the present disclosure, but it should be understood that in fact, the technical solution of the present disclosure does not limit each set to include 4 shape points.
  • Optionally, the background color of the test pattern can be black to avoid the introduction of other colors of light from affecting the contrast of the shape image points. Optionally, the shape point may be a solid geometric figure point or a hollow geometric figure frame, etc., which is not limited in this embodiment.
  • An optional test pattern may be shown in FIG. 3a . The test pattern has a black background, the black background includes 4 white shape points, and the shape points are hollow rectangular boxes.
  • In step 202, after the projection image is acquired, the gray-scale can be performed on the projection image directly, and N gray-scaled shape image points can be acquired from the gray-scaled projection image.
  • Next, in step 203, after the gray-scaled N shape image points are acquired, the gray-scaled N shape image points can be converted to the RGB color space. Optionally, during the conversion, the color value corresponding to the gray-scale value can be calculated according to the gray-scale value of the gray-scaled shape image point. Generally, for an 8-bit image, the gray-scale value of a pixel point is represented by 256 decimal numbers between 0-255. The gray-scale value can be obtained by the weighted summation of the color values corresponding to the three color components of R, G, and B according to the set weight. Therefore, for each pixel, the gray-scale value can be calculated inversely to obtain the three color values corresponding to the pixel.
  • In the three color components of R, G, and B, each color component corresponds to one color value or a color value range. Therefore, in step 204, after the color value of each pixel point on the gray-scaled image point is determined, each pixel point can be divided into a corresponding color type by referring to the color value or the color value range corresponding to each color component. It should be understood that the pixel point where the two color components are superimposed can be divided into two different color types at the same time; similarly, the pixel point where the three color components are superimposed can be divided into three different color types at the same time.
  • Furthermore, the N shape image points corresponding to the R color component, N shape image points corresponding to the G color component, and N shape image points corresponding to the B color component can be divided finally from the gray-scaled N shape image points. FIG. 3b is a schematic diagram of a shape image point corresponding to the R, G, and B color components obtained after color separation. It should be understood that the shape image points corresponding to the three color components in FIG. 3b have a greater degree of separation, which is just to show more clearly.
  • X0Y plane coordinate system is used to mark the coordinate system where the projection image is located. In step 205, for the R color component, the center-of-mass coordinates of the corresponding N shape image points can be calculated respectively, marked as PRi (XRi, YRi); for the color component, the center-of-mass coordinates of the corresponding N shape image points can be calculated separately, marked as PGi (XGi, YGi); for the B color component, the center-of-mass coordinates of the corresponding N shape image points can be calculated separately, marked as PBi (XGi, YGi); where i=1, 2, 3 . . . N.
  • It should be understood that, in this embodiment, the center-of-mass coordinates of the shape image points are calculated from the positions of multiple pixel points included in the shape image points, which can further reduce the impact of measurement error in a few pixels on the overall detection result.
  • In step 206, optionally, when N=2, for each color component, the midpoint of the line segment formed by the center-of-mass coordinates of the two shape image points corresponding to the color components can be first determined; then, the midpoint coordinate of the line segment is calculated, and the midpoint coordinate is used as the color coordinate corresponding to the color component.
  • Optionally, when N≥3, for each color component, the center of the geometric figure by taking the center-of-mass coordinates of the N shape image points corresponding to the color component as the vertex coordinates can be determined first; next, the coordinate of the center of the geometric figure is calculated, and the center coordinate of the geometric figure is taken as the color coordinate corresponding to the color component. For example, when N is equal to 3, the R color component corresponds to 3 shape image points. Taking the center-of-mass coordinates of the three shape image points as the vertex coordinates, a triangle can be obtained, and the coordinates of the center of the triangle can be used as the color coordinates corresponding to the R color component.
  • Take the calculation of the color coordinates corresponding to the R color component when N=4 as an example: the center of the first rectangle by taking the PR1 (XR1, YR1), PR2 (XR2, YR2), PR3 (XR3, YR3) and PR4 (XR4, YR4) as vertices is determine first; then the coordinate of the center of the first rectangle is calculated, and the coordinate is used as the coordinate corresponding to the R color component.
  • Optionally, when calculating the coordinate of the center of the first rectangle, the coordinates of the intersection points of the diagonal lines formed by the four vertices of the first rectangle may be calculated. For example, as shown in FIG. 3c , the intersection point PR (XR, YR) of the straight line formed by PR1 (XR1, YR1) and PR3 (XR3, YR3) and the straight line formed by PR2 (XR2, YR2) and PR4 (XR4, YR4) can be calculated as the coordinates of the center of the first rectangle. In the same way, the color coordinates PG (XG, YG) corresponding to the G color component and the color coordinates PB (XB, YB) corresponding to the B color component can be calculated, which will not be repeated.
  • In step 207, optionally, the values of XR−XG, XR−XB, XG−XB, and YR−YG, YR−YB, and YG−YB can be directly calculated as the superposition deviation of the pair of color components.
  • Optionally, this embodiment is suitable for a projection system based on RGB three-color light source imaging. The display component of the projection system based on RGB three-color light source imaging includes RGB three-color light sources: a first color light source, a second color light source, and a third color light source. When the superposition deviation of the three color components of RGB obtained by the projection of the RGB three-color light source is greater than the set deviation threshold, it can be considered that there is an assembly error among the first color light source, the second color light source, and the third color light source.
  • In steps 207-209, when the superposition deviation is greater than the set deviation threshold, the position of the R, G, and B three-color light source in the projection system can be adjusted. After the adjustment, step 201 can be executed again to continue to detect whether there is still a color convergence error. Optionally, the deviation threshold is an empirical value related to actual demand, which is not limited in this embodiment.
  • In this embodiment, the projection image of the test pattern containing the white shape points of the projection system, and the color coordinates corresponding to the three color components of R, G, and B are extracted from the projection image. Furthermore, it can be determined whether the different color components projected by the projection system superpose based on the color coordinates corresponding to each of the three color components. In such a technical solution, the color convergence error of the projection system may be effectively detected and corrected, which is beneficial to improve the imaging quality of the projection system.
